Thanks for all the posts, guys. We actually saw 2 Blue Ringed Octopus when we were in PG. I'll check my log book when I get home to she which dive sites they were at. We also saw Pygmy Sea Horses and I got a couple decent shots of them also. I'll post them when I get a chance to convert them to jpeg. I have just now finished the photos from my first 11 dives and we did 37 dives, so I still have a lot of pictures to go through.

We also dove the Pier at Dumaguete and have some awesome pictures from there. Overall it was a great trip to the PIs.

Now they have some at a dive site to the east of the resort in about 45 ft of water. I don't know how they find them, they are hard to see even when you know they are there. I'll check my logbook and post the dive site.

All of these sites were at PG.

Kudos to you Fic.. A good guide a little bit of luck will usually end up in a good dive...

It was mostly luck. My wife found the first one and one of our group found the other one. We did have very good guides at PG and we had a the best guide that I have ever had at Dumaguete.
